It's invoked via my .xsessionrc file:
     
     nohup rem -z -k'echo %s | gxmessage -file - -font "14" -noescape -ontop -sticky -name "[Remind] "%s"" -title "[Remind] "%s"" &' &

For the sake of the test, I've just modified my remind into the following:

     FSET sched_func(x) choose(x, -3, 1, 0)
     REM 05 August 2022 AT 18:30 SCHED sched_func MSG %"Test alert 18:30%" %1%

and I see that I have a strange result from my side:

$ kill -INT 1053386
Contents of AT queue:
Trigger: 18:30  Activate: 23:59  Rep: 0  Delta: 0  Sched: sched_func(2)
Text: MSG %"Test alert 18:30%" %1%

Why "Activate: 23:59" and not "Activate: 18:27" please?

Thanks for your help
